Description

Join us, grow, and be a part of the solution. REC Solar believes in providing great opportunities for our employees. Many of our current leadership team started at REC Solar right out of college. With 15 office locations and counting and a commitment to improving the planet, we provide a genuine ground-floor opportunity with a conscience.

The primary responsibility of the Lead Generator is to work in events, especially retail events, and occasionally to walk through neighborhoods that are deemed to be the correct customer demographic for our business and have many "solar ready" homes.

The Lead Generator's key goal is to set appointments for our Residential Sales Consultants by qualifying solar ready customers either at the events or after observing the home and roof orientation to determine suitability for solar. Lead Generators will need to communicate how an appointment with our Consultants will benefit the homeowner using a standard script and qualification process. Lead Generators who have passed the authorized event and solar 101 assessment tests, can also work in events to set appointments for our Sales team by qualifying solar-ready customers attending the event, then recording and distributing that information accurately within our policies and procedures.
